Jammu, November 15 — The National Foundation for Journalism & Media (NFJM) launched a six-month Leadership & Media Internship Programme today. This unique initiative offers young graduates and post-graduates a chance to immerse themselves in journalism, governance, and public policy.
The program will be personally overseen by Dr. Tahir Rufayee, the National Chairman of NFJM, ensuring that candidates receive top-tier guidance. This internship aims to form the future generation of media leaders through hands-on experience.
The NFJM designed the internship to integrate real newsroom work, public engagement, and practical governance activities. Through this initiative, interns will be exposed to critical aspects of journalism that are essential in today’s digital-first media environment.
Interns will gain significant exposure by working alongside experienced NFJM teams. Participants can expect to engage in journalism and on-ground reporting, media research, press note drafting, and rigorous fact-checking. They will also partake in public policy and governance assignments.
Moreover, interns will create engaging digital content, including videos and social media campaigns. They will manage community outreach and coordinate various events, providing them with a well-rounded understanding of media and civic engagement.
Beyond practical skills, this internship offers invaluable newsroom exposure. As Dr. Rufayee stated, “The future of journalism belongs to informed, trained, and ethically-grounded youth. NFJM is committed to giving them the right platform to grow.” Mentorship from Dr. Rufayee himself will enhance the learning experience, along with opportunities to participate in national-level initiatives.
Interns will embark on enriching field visits and interact with the public, gaining insights into media’s role in society. Upon successful completion, they will receive a certificate and a stipend as recognition of their hard work.
The NFJM encourages students and recent graduates eager to apply for this prestigious internship. Interested candidates can submit their CV to nfjm.org@gmail.com or contact via WhatsApp at 7006515407. Given that seats are limited, the selection process will include interviews and an assessment of applications.
The announcement has drawn positive responses from media circles, acknowledging NFJM’s efforts to provide structured, real-world exposure. Such initiatives come at a crucial time when the media landscape is undergoing rapid transformations, emphasizing the need for well-equipped journalists.
